Through her eyes I was forever strong. Encouragement she always gave, never gave up on me. Our mother was one who always thought of others first and never of herself. She will be dearly missed by our side but always be there in our hearts and thoughts. I will forever make her proud.

In the most difficult of times she was unconditionally on my side. My most ardent supporter. Mom was my best friend in life and will continue to be my spiritual guide in death. I feel her presence in my every emotion and share her desires in all my thoughts. Her love sustains me and her memory will comfort me until the moment I lay in her arms again. Until then each breath I take is for her.

I was blessed with unconditional love during the most difficult times. Mom was my best friend in life and will be my spiritual strenth in death. We will stand together forever as devoted mother and only son. I feel her presence in my every emotion and depend on her guidance in my every thought.
